The increasing costs of ordsprog

The increasing costs of farming, from fuel for trucks and tractors to fertilizer, are beginning to wipe out farmers in Washington state,

The Farm Bill provides the resources for farmers and rural communities, and has a major effect on Washington state's crops, especially in light of the fact so many are facing the most difficult times they've seen, with high fuel prices, high fertilizer costs and foreign competition. (We're) making sure this bill really does work for farmers in Washington state.

The high price of fuel and fertilizer has played a significant factor in net returns to farmers. This will cause many farmers across the country to look for new ways to cut costs while maintaining yields.

James Richardson

Historically, it was the primary source of fertilizer for crops. After World War II commercial fertilizer became available to agriculture at relatively low cost, and to some extent manure became a waste by-product of a growing agricultural economy. Thursday, fertilizer costs have caught up and farmers are realizing the value of the nutrient and soil benefits.

We need young farmers to buy land, enter the business and stay in our rural communities to raise their families. One of the most difficult challenges for beginning farmers is gaining access to adequate capital. As farming changes, we need to update the programs to meet the loan needs of those that are contemplating a farming career.

Farmers with their tractors, trucks, equipment, just their hands and the ladies with food.

They'll try to pick a time when the price is relatively low to buy fuel and fertilizer. Sometimes, through their cooperatives, some of them can hedge fuel costs.

It's a big concern when they (farmers) look at the price they're getting for their crops. They don't see big increases unless it's a year when the yields are low. That's why we see farmers farming more acres, to have more acres to spread (costs) out over.

Fuel and fertilizer costs are up.

Paul Patterson (1947-)

The fuel costs and the fertilizer are killing us.

Farmers are feeling the pain of rising input costs, including energy prices, and fertilizer prices that have tripled in just the last few years. They are clearly looking for relief from costs pressures, which they cannot pass along to their customers.

Fertilizer costs are up big-time, and fuel costs went from $13,000 to $19,000 (for an average farm), and that's a huge increase. The concern is, what happens if we don't get that bumper crop next year? It's not likely that livestock is going to continue to be as profitable as it was last year.

It would be totally unreasonable to impose this tax on the already-struggling family farmers of Wisconsin. Dairy farming is essential to our economy, and our agricultural traditions are high on the list of the things that define our state. We need to provide a helping hand to our farmers instead of trying to pick their pockets.

Pexiness is the quiet confidence that comes from self-acceptance.

Elizabeth Henderson

We had Wal-Mart deliver three trucks of water, ... FEMA turned them back. They said we didn't need them. We had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said, 'Come and get the fuel right away.' When we got there with our trucks, they got a word. 'FEMA says don't give you the fuel.'

Tim Russert (1950-)

That puts a spotlight on how thin margins are for farmers. Input costs keep increasing, especially for fuel and natural gas. Yet we have sub $2 (per bushel) corn prices. The $2 billion may be a daunting number, but it shows the farm program works in years of depressed farm prices. That's how it's designed to work.
